Goodyear, IIRC, had an inflatable one also.

But then again, it seems like Goodyear had inflatable EVERYTHING in the early 1960s...  ;D

ROTFL!  ;D

And very true too!

With twin PT6A turboprop and a modern look, this is a VERY updated Fw189, thanks!

"Modern" look ?? This looks to me like the glazed nose of an Arado Ar 234, not a very modern design!

I was meaning: "bubbles" are more modern than birdcages for the glazed parts. Technology improvement over the initial 189.

For the floatplane enthusiasts...

(Here: http://sobchak.wordpress.com/page/196/?archives-list)

and slightly less believable...

(It doesn't look too OTT until you take a look at the "3D" view: http://sobchak.wordpress.com/2011/12/06/ag-222c-porciglione-e-g-222-coin/)

:o


Eyaargh! I just noticed that there appears to be a "cockpit" in the nose of the float on the first one.
What if... I had a brain?

The guy who's doing the mooring has to sit SOMEwhere, surely?  ;) :lol:
